New South West hub for Bluefin

Bluefin Insurance Services has opened a new office in Cardiff.

Ian Sandham has been appointed branch director in addition to his current Bristol-based role and Richard Brice has joined Bluefin as senior account executive.

Further appointments expected in the near future, Bluefin said.

Chief executive Stuart Reid said: “We are delighted to be opening an office in Cardiff which strengthens our geographical footprint in the south west.

"Although we already have offices in Bristol, Plymouth, Bath and Welshpool, it’s great to have a presence in the Welsh capital with local people serving the local community.”

Bluefin’s sister company Bluefin Advisory Services - which specialises in employee benefits and wealth management - will relocate their current Cardiff office to the new premises.

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.
